How do you (or do you) keep squirrels away from the feeders? No Vested Interest Mar 2015 #16
A squirrel cage goes around the feeder Omaha Steve Mar 2015 #28
I definitely won't be making one; I prefer the looks of the baffles to the cages. No Vested Interest Mar 2015 #32
Never tried that Omaha Steve Mar 2015 #34
Feeders on poles away from trees fitted with lower baffles work the best. glinda Mar 2015 #49
